Björnskfestivalen 13

Björnskfestivalen 13 will be the thirteenth edition of Björnskfestivalen, the music contest used to select the Björnsk entry for Maia Song Contest 13. The national selection will be the first to follow a non-qualification following Matt Wills' failure to make the final in the previous edition of the Maia Song Contest.

Format
Eight songs are to be performed on the night of the grand final, each by a different artist. The result will be decided purely by a national televote for the second year in a row.

Entry selection
BTV called for a submission of entries by interested artists and record companies, which were then narrowed down by a selection panel. In addition, multiple songwriting camps were held across Björnska, Dunwaye, Lianistan, and Samavia. It is hoped that this renewed effort in the contest will bring a return to the final.

Presenters
Graham Norton will present the show this year, following Davina McCall who will take a short break from hosting. He has described his "overwhelming excitement" to be involved in the process.
